Another banger getting released!! Excited to have worked with our friends at Big Ditch Brewing Company ๐๐ป๐๐ป
We've got THREE Barrel Aged Bottles for you this Friday at our Fall Barrel Aged Bottle Release!
1. IT IS WHAT IT ISN'T - Imperial stout aged in Apple Brandy Barrels with coffee, vanilla, and marshmallows - This b**r is the result of a collaboration lasting 18 months between Big Ditch and the Buffalo Barrel Project, with a simple goal of making a beautifully balanced barrel aged b**r. We began by aging a 10% ABV Imperial Stout in Apple Brandy barrels for 12 months. We then blended this barrel aged stout with another 11% Imperial Stout. To this blended stout we added fresh coffee, vanilla, and marshmallows, to lend sweetness to the blended b**r. The complexity of this b**r is off the charts; this b**r is everything that simple b**rs aren't. 10.5% ABV.
2. THE TOWER - Rye Wh***ey Barrel Aged Barley W**e - Our brewery sits in the shadow of the Electric Tower, which is where the New Year's Eve ball drops in Buffalo, and we brew The Tower to celebrate the coming of the new year. This b**r was originally brewed in January 2021. We aged the b**r in a Willett Rye Wh***ey barrel as we hoped the subtle rye spice would complement the toffee and honey character of the base b**r. We aged this b**r in the barrel for 18 months. The result is amazingly smooth for its 10.5% ABV. We think this is one of the best barrel aged b**rs we've ever created. We hope you enjoy. 10.5% ABV.
3. BLOSSOM STREET - Helles L***r Aged in Chardonnay Barrels - Our brewery is bordered by Blossom Street, which is an alleyway behind the brewery where our brewers enjoy b**rs at the end of their shift to celebrate a job well done. Our Helles l***r is a b**r that is particularly enjoyed during these shift b**r sessions. An idea that "blossomed" over these shift b**rs was aging our Helles in a Chardonnay barrel (3x times used) to add light oak and white grape character to the bready malt and lightly spicy hop character of the base b**r. There is only a soft kiss of barrel character in this b**r; the b**r is well suited for consumption on a warm day, but also for contemplation while sitting by an open fire. We hope you enjoy. 5% ABV.
All three bottles will be available at 11:00am Friday. These will only be available at our taproom. Online ordering will be available for pickup only. Cheers!
